Teaser Infrared Image – The Answer

Looks like most of you were on the right track…

Infrared Image

Visible Light Image

Answer: The infrared image is of a hot connection at a substation in Southern MN! This image is showing a hot spot on a connection to a “CT”—or Current Transformer. Safety is most important while working around high voltage systems. Thermographers also need to be aware of reflections from the sun to avoid calling false-positives while viewing the many components in a substation. Watch out—reflections can easily be mistaken for electrical hot spots. Nice job, Mike and Dan!

Hope you’re enjoying the short work week. Get ready, next week’s Teaser Tuesday is a fun one 🙂
